Listen to The Mr. Nice Guy Show podcast, too.

My thoughts on what's goin' on in the world,

just like years ago on the radio.

Music, Please

Everyone, sing with me...

---
A room without windows, a room without doors
A room where no guy but I can spy the charms that are yours
Like being marooned on an island far from civilized shores
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors

No bells will be ringing, no telephone calls
In our little well-secluded cell of ceiling and walls
While dozens of males sit 'n' chew their nails and hate me because
I am yours in a room without windows, a room without doors

If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend the long hereafter?"
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to

A room without keyholes, a room with no view
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Completely wrapped up in each other while the whole world ignores
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors

If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend the long hereafter?"
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to

A room without keyholes, a room with no view
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Completely wrapped up in each other while the whole world ignores
You and me in a room without windows
A room without windows
A room without windows
A room without doors

Payola???

Well, here's an interesting story.

This station was absolute shit when I lived in Buffalo and obviously continues to be so. Talk down to the listeners, bribe them with contests and be a mindless jukebox, encouraging ignorance.
